Lock up your daughters.

Someone told us today of the experience of his friend’s daughter recently. The girl, who works in a casino in France, met a young man who drew her attention to an advertisement for staff in an Egyptian holiday camp. He showed her pictures of the camp on the internet and she was attracted by the thought of adventure. Despite her mother’s reservations she applied, received a form which she completed and sent off with personal details. In return she recieved a properly drawn up contract which she signed, and was sent an air ticket to Egypt. All seemed to being going well, but the advertisers twice changed the destination where she would be met. That aroused her mother’s suspicions. Her mother finally persuaded the girl to check the site out with the police. It was entirely false. No such holiday camp existed, and it was a front for a prostitution ring to entrap unwary European girls. The young man who drew her attention to the site disappeared pdq and is now being sought by the French police.
